Interpreter and translator.

So I've been wondering what's the difference between these two words. I've read the thread about "Translate or Interpret" and the difference there is quite clear, but how should a person name himself? Does his work come in account here? I mean for me the word "interpreter" is kind of more, how should I put it, presentable? When I hear someone calling himself a translator I always imagine Google Translate or some other web dictionary. Is it just me or that really sound somewhat strange? Thanks.
